General info

Type

Desktop

The market that the CPU is designed for.

CPU socket

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

The CPU socket/s supported.

Chipset

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

The motherboard chipset/s supported.

Has integrated graphics

✖AMD FX-8320

With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.

semiconductor size

32 nm

Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.

Thermal Design Power (TDP)

125W

The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.

CPU temperature

61.1 °C

If the CPU exceeds the maximum operating temperature then problems such as random resets can occur.

PCI Express (PCIe) version

Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.

number of transistors

1200 million

A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.

Performance

CPU speed

8 x 3.5 GHz

The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.

CPU threads

8 threads

More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.

turbo clock speed

4GHz

When the CPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.

Has an unlocked multiplier

✔AMD FX-8320

Some processors come with an unlocked multiplier which makes them easy to overclock, allowing you to gain increased performance in games and other apps.

L2 cache

8 MB

A larger L2 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.

L3 cache

8 MB

A larger L3 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.

L1 cache

384 KB

A larger L1 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.

L2 core

1 MB/core

More data can be stored in the L2 cache for access by each core of the CPU.

L3 core

1 MB/core

More data can be stored in the L3 cache for access by each core of the CPU.

Benchmarks

PassMark result

8199

This benchmark measures the performance of the CPU using multiple threads.

PassMark result (single)

1403

This benchmark measures the performance of the CPU using a single thread.

Blender (bmw27) result

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

The Blender (bmw27) benchmark measures the performance of a processor by rendering a 3D scene. More powerful processors can render the scene in less time.

Integrated graphics

OpenCL version

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.

Memory

RAM speed (max)

1866 MHz

The maximum speed of RAM that is supported by the CPU.

maximum memory bandwidth

21 GB/s

This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.

DDR memory version

DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is the most common type of RAM. Newer versions of DDR memory support higher maximum speeds and are more energy-efficient.

memory channels

More memory channels increases the speed of data transfer between the memory and the CPU.

maximum memory amount

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

The maximum amount of memory (RAM) supported.

bus transfer rate

5.4 GT/s

The bus is responsible for transferring data between different components of a computer or device.

Supports ECC memory

✖AMD FX-8320

Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.

eMMC version

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

A higher version of eMMC allows faster memory interfaces, having a positive effect on the performance of a device. For example, when transferring files from your computer to the internal storage over USB.

bus speed

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.

The bus is responsible for transferring data between different components of a computer or device.

Features

instruction sets

SSE 4.2, SSE 4.1, AVX, AES, FMA3, FMA4, F16C, MMX

Instruction sets are sets of codes that the CPU runs for certain functions.

uses multithreading

✖AMD FX-8320

Multithreading technology (such as Intel's Hyperthreading or AMD's Simultaneous Multithreading) provides increased performance by splitting each of the processor's physical cores into virtual cores, also known as threads. This way, each core can run two instruction streams at once.
